Dermody Properties Acquires Two Logistics Buildings in Southern California

Dermody Properties, a national private equity real estate investment, development and management company focused exclusively on the logistics real estate sector, has acquired two Class A industrial buildings at 7580 and 7630 Cherry Avenue in Fontana. The buildings are currently occupied but will be available for lease in mid-April 2021 and early June 2021, respectively.


Completed in 2008, each of the buildings features a 30-foot clear height, 18 dock high doors, two drive-in doors and an ESFR sprinkler system. 7580 Cherry Avenue offers 84,364 total square feet and 7630 Cherry Avenue offers 119,087 total square feet. There is a central, 179-foot concrete truck court and the two buildings are divisible to accommodate four tenants.


“These buildings offer a unique opportunity for manufacturing, warehousing and distribution customers alike to lease Class A logistics space in an area where available inventory is limited,” said Matt Mexia, Partner in Southern California for Dermody Properties. “The Inland Empire West remains one of the strongest and most active industrial markets in the country with very low vacancy. We continue to aggressively pursue industrial acquisition and development opportunities in the region.”

The properties are located less than two miles east of Interstate-15, just south of State Route 210 and north of Interstate-10. Corporate neighbors include Mercedes-Benz, Target, Cardtronics, LG and FedEx.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Industrial Advisory Group West presented this opportunity to Dermody Properties. Phil Lombardo, Andrew Starnes and Cruise Adams of Cushman & Wakefield will be the leasing agents for the properties.

“Dermody Properties has been active in Southern California and the Inland Empire for several years,” said Timothy Walsh, Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Dermody Properties. “We will continue to look for acquisition and development opportunities in this area that provide strategic and targeted solutions for our customers.”

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
